Is there any way to stop my period with birth control pills?

Question

I started my period yesterday and started Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo today. Will starting birth control stop my period? If not, will taking 2 pills for one day stop it?

Answer 1

DO NOT take two at a time unless you have missed one. Ortho Low has such a low dose the 1st week that NO it will not stop your period

Answer 2

No, it won't. I suggest going on DepoProvera (the shot) instead. I received the shot when I got my period and it had ceased by the end of the day.  

Answer 3

highly doubtful your period is like an internal flushing of your system it may be a pain but its a good thing anyway some birthcontrol says you'll only have like four periods a year but you could still have bleeding inbetween nothing is 100% talk to your doctor or nurse they'll have answers for you

Answer 4

Nope.

And DO NOT go against what the prescription tells you to.  Don't take two pills for one day unless the doctor said so.

You cannot stop a period that is already started.

I also do not recommend depo provera, many women suffer many serious health issues with it, like bone health loss and infertility, among other things.  Check out their reviews at http://www.rateitall.com
